No Air, No Air

I am nothing short of completely digging this new song, "No Air," a duet between American Idol winner Jordin Sparks and Chris Brown. The video is what sold the song to me. To me, the video is emotional and powerful in a perfect, only semi-cheesy way. I dig the confrontation between the two at the end, as well as their imaginary selves begging each other for "air" in the windy, stone-wall sequences.

One qualm: maybe it's just me, but don't the shots of their different locations kind of seem like the same New York City area to you? Come on, kids, just take the subway.

Check out the HQ video here on YouTube. I really recommend it. Great vocals, great concept...great makeup. And great body, Chris Brown! Kudos.
